If youʻre still dazzled by the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States, I caution you about this next item weʻre going to talk about. "Obamaland: Who Is Barack Obama?" Itʻs a new book in stores now. Itʻs written by someone who knows alot about Hawaii...Ron Jacobs, who is a radio veteran...one of the original “Poi-boys from the K-POI days, or if you remember him like I do from the KKUA days.
Reason why I caution you is...when you pick it up youʻre not going to be able to put it down. Itʻs a read from cover to cover book. Yes itʻs about our President of the United States who grew up in Hawaii, but itʻs also a look into our own history as well.
Itʻs about those famous places that we as locals know well. And when the book catches up to the campaign for the White House, you canʻt help but smile at the pictures of the enormity of the situation that Barack Obama created as he sought to be Commander In Chief. You also visit Barack's friends, hangouts, his history which is tied into who we are as a people in these islands. Youʻll want to put some time aside for this one.
Good Book, Good conversation piece in the house or gifts to others far away. Obamaland, by Ron Jacobs...available online and in stores here in Hawaii.
